 The wine product of France has fallen off rather more than one-half solely because the phylloxera has totally or partially destroyed nearly three and half million acres of vines. Now, however, after trying variety of remedies in vain, the practice is being e1- tensively and successfully tried of entirely roofing out the infected vines and substitut- ing American ones. The excellent results of this method seem to be something remarka- ble. and the wine product of France is be- ginning to rise toward it's old amount.
 Hon. J. H. Manley of Augusta, Maine, one of the closest personal friends of MT. Blaine, says: No true friend of Mir. Blaine, so far as I know, is doing the first thing for his nomination. I can see good many req sons why Mir. Blaine would not care for the nomination. He is blessed with health, is busy all the time, enjoys the comforts and happiness of home life, cannot go anywhere without meeting with wide circle of friends, has to-day the largest personal following of any man on this continent, is known and admired the world over.

 There is nothing more obstinate than a man who wants to be martyr. W. F. Davis, who persisted in preaching on Boston common in violation of a city ordinance, is determined to pose as martyr. He has been before the superior court within week for the offense and was treated with great leniency Fines and costs amounting to $s50 were imposed, but were temporarily suspended. The court assigned as reason for this favor the undoubted honesty Of MT. Davis' intention and his belief in his consti- tutional right to act as he did. MT. Davis showed his gratitude by again infringing on Sunday by preaching on the common, and it is now intimated that his desire for martyr dom will be gratiAed.

Second class passengers were put in an I'M

the Storage passengers of transatlantic ships
are lodged in elegance in comparison with
them. Freight trains were operated by the
fewest possible men, and the employees in

Of accidents they held down the pace TO
twelve miles an hour on the opening days.
The inventor of the locomotive wrote in n
letter the following: mot the least surprising
thing about the day was the audacious temer-
ity Of the first who confided themselves
to these terrible motors. But the influence of
example is miraculous. That which an iso-

companions, who give each other courage;

WHERE THE LEAKAGE COMES IN

The New York Times hit the core of
the subject in speaking of the low prices
received by beef producers and the con-
tinued high prices paid by consumers.
Its arguments are not new to the people
of this section of the country, but they
show a disposition to treat the cattlemen
fairly, as has not lately been done by the
leading eastern newspapers. The Times
say How does it happen that con-
sumers derive no benefit from the pre-
vailing low prices of cattle in the West2
For two years or more. the ranchmen
have been complaining about these prices.
The recent heavy failures at Fort Worth
and Henrietta, in Texas, are said TO have
been caused by this continued depression
of values. But while the price of cattle
has reached so low a level consumers
must pay the old prices for the
beef which they eat. They are
forced to this whether they live in At
lantic seaboard cities, far from the base of
supplies, or in Chicago and Kansas City,
where cattle from the plains are slaught-
cred. Chicago is our greatest market for
cattle and beef. One would say that low
prices for cattle ought to have caused a
large reduction of the retail prices OF beef
in that city. But such is not the case.
The buyers of beef at retail in Chicago
suffer as consumers of the same product
in the east DO. The same prices are ex-
acted in Kansas City. Everywhere the
retail prices have been sustained in spite
of the great reductions which the ranch
men have been forced to accept. What
is the power that stands between the
ranchman and the consumer, robbing
both? 1t is the beef ring of Chicago
and Kansas City, and this ring has been
enabled to collect its tribute and discour-
age or crush competition by iniquitous
bargains and alliances with railroad cor
porations. What the Standard Oil Trust
has done in another field this ring has
done in the beef market. 1t has estab.
lished what are practically monopolies. 1t
has demanded and received from So
called common carriers exclusive privi-
leges. 1t has built up its power by means
of enormous rebates"

The friends of Bishop Taylor's African
missions, which are not supported by any mis-
sionnry society, have, in the past eighteen
months, contributed nearly S45, 900 to main
tain them, besides supplying $4,000 to build
the bishops steel Congo steamer, which has
cost $4,000. Many of the stations in Angola
are now raising much of their food supplies,
and are thus largely self supporting. Seven
missionaries have died, but seventy remain in
active service. This does not include the chill
dren, of whom a considerable number are
with their parents, Bishop Taylor is supposed
to have joined the last party that left this

Angus Sinclair, of The National Car and
Locomotive Builder, has pricked the ex-
.aggcrated statement which has been go

five pounds of water evaporated with one

WHILE The LEADER is considering
the subject of outraged public opinion,
says the Laramie Boomerang, it might
be well enough to remember that the law
has been outraged in this territory so
often that 1T is no more than right that
justice should get in her work OCCASION
ally.
THE LEADER does not object 10 every
man receiving a square deal in the courts
of law, but what it does object to is that
a convicted criminal should be treated
with more consideration than is due an
upright citizen. From the very moment
a criminal is arrested the whole effect of
the law is not so much to punish him for
his crime as to shield him from the con
sequences of it.
There is entirely too much sentimental
lapdoodle wasted over criminals. Once
a man has successfully graduated as q
murderer he becomes an object of pity to
many people in every community. They
grow maudlin over the gallows looming
up in the distance, and persistently over,
look the fact hat their hero has perhaps
wantonly murdered a fellow being in cold
blood.

Al honest conviction is secured let the
penalties imposed by outraged justice b.

The Inauguration of the first railroad in
France which really aroused public interest
and enthusiasm was the Saint German road
in 1887. All the journals were filed with
talk about railroads. The whole public were
in an excitement over it. That was really
the first railroad proper that was operated
in France. The ceremonies of %inaugura-
ton lasted three days. The queen, a duchesSe
and some dukes had the first day. Men of
financial fame, men in charge of industrial
interests, politicians and engineers had the
second day for their own, while the third day
was given over to the general public. On TINT
day 5000 passengers went over the road
without accident.

England when the Ways for the Iron
Horse Were FIRST Opened.
The first railroad in France was built in
1923 between Saint Etienne and La Loire, but
it carried only vehicles drawn by horses. 1t
was not properly u railroad; it was only a
tramway. The first locomotive drawing cars
was put in operation in 1882 between Saint
Etienne and Lyons, but it drew principally
merchandise. Passengers were carried in "a
compartment attached to the freight cars.

The first railroad in England was built in
1907, but the first carrying a locomotive was
from Darlington TO Stockton in 1925; but not
until the 18th of September, 1880, did Eng
land have a railroad which carried passen-
gers as they carry them today, for there is
but little difference in their transportation Of
first class passengers now and then. TIL car
was divided into three compartments. Their
baggage was put OF the top of the car, after
the manner OF country staging. There are
to this day certain lines of railroads in Eng
land where they do the same thing.

WILLIAM O'BR1EN, editor of United
Ireland, presided last Tuesday over the
fortnightly meeting of the Irish Ma
tional League in Dublin. The meeting
was unusually large. 4 number OF
Catholic clergymen were present. Mr..
Harrington announced that Charles
Augustus Vansittart Conybeare, (Radi-
cal) member of parliament for North
west Cornwall, and Charles Ernest
Schwann, (LiberaD member for North
Manchester, had Joined the League.
Mr.. O'Brien said that the first branch
of the League against which the gov
eminent should issue proclamation
would hold its meeting with closed
doors and refuse to open them for the
police, even if they demanded admit
tance. This would leave the police
nothing to do but break their way in,
if they were determined to enter. AS
the police would probably resort to vio-
lence, the central branch of the League
would then ask the lord mayor to grant
them the use of the city hall, with spe-
cial police to defend it during League
meetings therein. A majority of the
Dublin city council, as well as the lord
mayor, are strong Nationalist and
leaders in the League.
